Another "this happened to me" event. So this was at the beginning of the ILYBINILWY period I've described here before. I was intimidated by this cartoon guy. Not very Alpha. At this time I was just realising all the lies I'd believed over the years. I chose to become the good looking, sexy, well dressed, socially savvy guy all the women wanted. Now, I could not care less about Edward or any other fantasy. I have the neighborhood women telling my wife how much they love me. Hypergamy is a beautiful thing.

The interesting thing about this whole phenomenon is not the fact that Twilight satisfies the same need in women that porn does for men. The interesting thing is how so few women are able to see or admit it; nor are they shamed by it.
